| Many people who have not travelled to South Africa before will almost certainly be concerned from the media presentation of security and safety issues in South Africa. Whilst crime in Johannesburg is high, Cape Town is 1400 km (875 miles) away and the situation here is entirely different. As an example, at the recent World Diabetes conference with 12,000 delegates there were two minor incidents. In Stellenbosch, the nearest town to Spier,
it is considered safe by all local people to walk around the town centre
at any hour of day or night. |
